Taiwan Bubble Tea Craze Hits Davao

With the advent of the bubble tea craze, Davao is definitely following suit. Countless business owners are setting up shop and need quality raw materials. Good thing there are highly responsive after-sales support from the best manufacturers and suppliers in Taiwan.

Recently, they opened the Taiwan Bubble Tea Pavilion at the Taiwan Expo 2019 last November 8-9, 2019 at the SMX Convention Center Davao. It was orchestrated by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA). During the event, they featured member companies of the Taiwan Bubble Tea Alliance, an organization established in 2017 to unify and boost the collective strength of over 125 bubble milk tea vendors and industrial firms in the country. From the way things are going, they see potential of growth in the Philippines and Davao is no exception.

They called it "Taiwan Bubble Tea, Bubble Up Your Life!". Boba and Bubble tea fans, business franchisees and startup entrepreneurs in Davao got to see and taste the latest products from Taiwan. Hundreds of them went to the event and sampled the best products from the beautiful island. Patrons got to taste and feel the difference of their bubble tea products and compared them to existing ones in the country, of course it had to be done!

They also showcased where to get raw materials, packaging, equipment, total solution and store chains. It was participated by members Good Young Co. Ltd., Mr. Sun International Tea Chain Co. Ltd. (Red Sun) and Great Eastern Food Co. Ltd. They all shared their expertise.

After the event, at least 35 Davao business owners have expressed interest in partnering with the Taiwan Bubble Tea Alliance for future endeavors. There were also numerous inquiries from other visitors about franchising popular bubble tea brands. They also are eager to establish new concepts to make Taiwan bubble tea products more appealing and enjoyable for the Filipino taste.

The Taiwan Bubble Tea Alliance and TAITRA are hopeful that this event could start more partnerships with Filipino entrepreneurs. The exhibition also served as an excellent opportunity for business owners to connect with Taiwan suppliers.

Sarah Geronimo for "Sarah G Popsters" by Xeleb

I love Sarah Geronimo. Just like you, I've been swooned by her pop songs including "Kilometro" during shower time and danced to beats whenever I can outdoors. Well she's not stopping there anytime soon because just a few days ago, she released her very first Android game called Sarah G Popsters. It's made by celebrity game maker Xeleb Games who also did Anne Curtis Smith and Erwan Heussaff's titles a few weeks ago. This time, this bubble type game will make you spend countless hours on your phone and get you to spend it with the Popstar Princess all day in this highly addicting and very easy game available now on the Google Play Store.

Here's a video intro so you can see how it's played!

Sarah also mentions that she was so happy to actually see this because it's like anybody can play it. It's easy, the gameplay is fun, and wouldn't get you bored because after each game, you'll hear Sarah personally cheer you on and have some of her own songs play during the game. Now if that's not fun, here's Sarah during the launch a few days ago. This includes me getting surprised because I didn't know she was behind me before she went up the stage.

SARAH GERONIMO FOR SARAHGPOPSTERS ANDROID GAME by kumagcow

So now's the time, go to the Google Play Store on your Android Phones and search for Sarah G Popsters and you'll find the game. Install it on your phones and try to do it on the first few stages first, if you get the hang of it, try to use the power ups and gain more turns/lives by inviting your other Popster friends to play the game now! Or just to make it easier for you, you can download it here.

Happy Birthday Sef Cadayona!

We had the chance to see Sef Cadayona in the flesh a few days ago. It's his birthday so I have to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEF! Haha! He's one of my favorite stars in Bubble Gang next to Michael V especially when he plays Selphie in skits Ikaw at Ang Ina. He's one hilarious chap and I was pretty impressed when I met him that afternoon. He's not only funny, but really good looking too. He also is part of Sunday All Stars and I've reckoned he fancies one talent the most... he loves dancing!

The event was also hosted by Betong and Tess Bomb, both whom are good friends of Sef. He's also delighted that his sponsors Cornetto, RRJ, Sweet Escape cupcakes helped in making the event more special with their produts. Kudos also to GMA Artist Center for arranging this and organizing a full blown dance contest just for Sef!

Then we all sat down and watched how these dancers from not so well off areas performed. They are quite a talented bunch.

Simple Guyz had crumping on their performance. A more army kind of feel.

I am Crew District on the other hand danced on very good RnB music.

Technical Force saved the best for last. They had a very good theatrical performance. Some parts made the audience have goosebumps no joke!

The panel of judges really had a hard time choosing the winner. Shown above are Mark Sablan from GMA Artist Center, Mayton Eugenio the daughter of Geline Eugenio and an upcoming actress, the main man himself birthday boy Sef Cadayona and Bing Manalo of GMA Artist Center too.

Sef Cadayona is so thankful to everyone who has supported him all these years and hope that his career will continue to flourish in the coming years. He still wants to do more in this industry and knows how much support he's getting from the network, his management and friends. He wishes also that his fans support him on Sunday All Stars as he's part of Rocco Nacino's team Tweet Hearts along with other GMA artists. You'll also see him on Vampire ang Daddy Ko and Bubble Gang every week!

Please continue to support him as I do too. I'll watch every Bubble Gang episode you can quote me on that! :) Happy happy birthday Sef! Thanks for being so nice too!
